I tried to create a smoke grenade ability using the campaign grenade ability as a base, just switched damage effect with a create unit effect that spawns a smoke grenade unit. I created a sight blocker footprint and everything and added it to the unit but its not actually working.
Not unless you can force the footprint to update. Probably best done with a hidden unit that uses a Launch Missile effect periodically to follow the main unit.

Sure the footprint is being used in the correct field of the created unit?

LOS blockers do not work on the square they are placed but only apply to adjacent squares.

Translation kinetics are definitely not an option. I know from experience.
